Weekly Update

5^th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the end of a very short week at HIS.

We have now familiarized ourselves with the class routines and expectations and the students are now getting to grips with the Grade 5 curriculum. Our focus so far has been on reading strategies, study techniques and habits, and problem solving skills in all subjects more than anything else and I hope that the students will continue to use what they have learned throughout the year.

What we learned This week

Math: Topic 2 – Adding and Subtracting Whole Numbers and Decimals

Literacy: Fiction/Non-Fiction. Predicting outcomes/Narrator’s Perspective/Personal Narratives  

Science: Part One – The Nature of Science: What do Scientists do?

Social Studies: Ch. 1 The Land  - Landforms
